Dec. 2024

I truly don't understand why only 13.2% of players completed this less than 6 hour game? Combat has enough going on with upgrades that it never gets boring or tedious. It is heavy on the dialogue at the start but it serves to create a deeper world I thought. And there are enough unique gameplay segments to liven things up. And the music is awesome. A hugely overlooked indie gem. Pick it up if you're even a little curious.

I remember playing this game a whole lot on the Xbox Gamepass. This is a very good game, with a very good story, and enjoyable gameplay. I can safely say that this is an incredible game. 10/10. Please do make more.

Amazing game, great soundtrack and a delight to play. There is a major TRON meets 8bit and Synthwave feeling as you explore, fight and groove your way through a digital world. I love the enemies, the change in scenes, the story and yes, the transformers-style throwbacks as I rescue memories of the Trichoma. All with floppy disks, cassettes and amazing dance moves.

Narita Boy is a very charming game with an immaculate aesthetic. The surface of the story is nice and all but the dialogue in the game really gives TMI, personally after 2-3 hours I got tired of reading walls of text and I started reading through the lines mostly to save my time and sanity, the controls feel kinda bad, yes you get used to it but it might get a tad bit frustrating especially on platforming sections and areas with a lot of enemies since your character won't really listen to your inputs and will cause you to get a lot of damage in the process, there's also like an animation for some of your skills that lock you into place, leaving you vulnerable which felt really bad at times. Narita Boy is not the most polished experience you'll have but for the aesthetic, the amazing soundtrack it has and the content it offers for its price I think it's worth your time.
